AfterES Windows Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent ES Windows service across Lighthouse Point, from Series 8800 sliders to current HVHZ impact units, and there is one thing that makes our work here different from anywhere else. Salt-laden humidity off the canal grid attacks aluminum frames and hardware from all four elevations at once, so we quote marine-grade stainless fasteners and PVC-coated components as a standard line item, never an optional upgrade. TruePane Windows & Doors is not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by ES Windows. We are an independent service provider with years of hands-on installation and repair experience, and you can reach a live person at (813) 320-9346 any hour.

Why Lighthouse Point Residents Choose Us for ES Windows Service
Older canal-front homes in Lighthouse Point were built for a different Broward County, before HVHZ product-approval rules turned window replacement into a code-driven decision. Dale Kessler grew up around this trade. His father ran a small building-maintenance outfit for thirty years, and Dale learned early that a callback is a character flaw, not just an inconvenience. He picked up the glazing trade at Hillsborough Community College’s construction technology program and has spent nearly two decades on Window Installation in Lighthouse Point and across South Florida. That background matters when you are looking at an original ES Windows Series 8800 that has been breathing salt air since Lyndon Johnson was in office.
We know which ES Windows components corrode first in Lighthouse Point: the bottom tracks, the lock stiles, the weep systems. And we stock the marine-grade aftermarket stainless fasteners and PVC-coated aluminum components that factory finishes do not include. If it needs to be in writing to be true, we will put it in writing.
Common ES Windows Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lighthouse Point
- Oxidized aluminum frame channels on Series 8800 sliders. Three-sided canal exposure means salt-laden humidity etches the anodizing on these frames faster than anything inland. The sash seizes, the door won’t glide, and the lock stops catching. We cut out the corroded channel, replace what the frame allows, and reseal with marine-grade polyurethane.
- Corroded stainless and steel hardware on rear and side elevations. Lighthouse Point lots surrounded by water on two or three sides show pitting on interior-facing doors and windows at the same rate as street-facing ones. Standard factory hardware gives out within a few years. We swap in marine-grade stainless hardware as the baseline on every job here.
- Fogged or seal-failed insulated glass in early non-impact ES units. On canal-front homes, the original weep holes fill with salt crust and stop draining. Moisture sits inside the frame, the seal fails, and condensation builds between the panes. We replace the glass and clear or reroute the weep system so it drains again.
- Worn OEM nylon rollers and bent bottom tracks on sliders. Constant moisture plus wind-driven debris from the canal chew through factory rollers and warp tracks. We replace rollers with OEM ES Windows parts where available, but we upgrade to stainless or marine-grade aftermarket components when the OE spec is not built for this environment.
- Jalousie openings that fail current HVHZ impact codes. Many 1950s through 1970s Lighthouse Point homes still have original jalousie windows. They leak air, they leak water, and they are wholly non-compliant with Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product-approval mandate. We remove them and set custom-sized impact units sized to the non-standard rough openings common in this era of CBS construction.
ES Windows Service in Lighthouse Point: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lighthouse Point is one of the most densely canal-networked cities in Broward County. Virtually every residential lot either fronts a saltwater canal or sits within a block of one, and those canals connect to the Intracoastal Waterway. That means salt-air and humidity attack window frames, sills, and door hardware from all four elevations, not just the ocean-facing side. Combine that with Broward County’s HVHZ product-approval mandate, among the strictest impact-glazing standards in the country, and every replacement window or door here must simultaneously achieve HVHZ certification and be specified with marine-grade hardware and finishes. That is a dual requirement that exceeds what is needed even in neighboring inland Broward cities like Pompano Beach or Deerfield Beach.
Marine-grade stainless hardware as a standard line item, not an optional upgrade. On Lighthouse Drive, a 1968 CBS ranch had an original ES Windows Series 8800 sliding glass door facing the canal on two sides. The bottom track had corroded shut and the lock stile no longer caught. Our tech cut out the old aluminum frame, replaced the opening with an impact-rated ES Windows-compatible slider as part of our Door Installation in Lighthouse Point service, using stainless anchors and a PVC-coated track, and sealed every fastener with marine-grade polyurethane. Then we pulled the rear bedroom’s jalousie windows and set custom-sized impact fixed units to bring the whole elevation into HVHZ compliance. That job is the norm here, not the exception.
ES Windows Models & Products We Service in Lighthouse Point
Our crews have serviced every ES Windows frame series found in Lighthouse Point’s canal-front CBS homes. That includes the Series 8800 aluminum sliding glass doors that dominate 1950s through 1970s construction, plus ES Windows impact casement and awning units, single-hung impact windows, and fixed and picture units. We use OEM ES Windows parts where available for seals, rollers, and hardware. But we stock marine-grade aftermarket stainless fasteners and PVC-coated aluminum components because Lighthouse Point’s salt-air exposure demands upgrades beyond factory finish. That stock is what keeps turnaround fast on repairs here. We repair when a unit still meets HVHZ product approval and the frame is sound. We replace full frame when corrosion has penetrated beyond surface etching or the opening needs structural resecuring.
ES Windows Service Pricing in Lighthouse Point
ES Windows service pricing in Lighthouse Point depends on what the unit needs. Hardware replacement on a Series 8800 slider typically runs $180 to $320. Glass replacement for a fogged or seal-failed insulated unit runs $350 to $700 depending on size and whether we need to clear the weep system. A full-frame impact replacement on a non-standard CBS rough opening typically lands between $1,800 and $4,200 per opening, including permits and marine-grade hardware. What drives the cost here is the opening size, the condition of the surrounding frame, and whether the existing unit passes current HVHZ product approval. Every estimate we write includes a line-by-line breakdown on paper, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave the driveway.

FAQs - ES Windows Windows & Doors in Lighthouse Point
Because the canals surrounding Lighthouse Point lots carry salt-laden humidity that attacks hardware from all four elevations, and the corrosion starts internally before it becomes visible on the surface. By the time you see pitting on the lock stile, the fastener threads and track channels are already compromised. On two- and three-sided canal lots, interior-facing rear doors and windows corrode at the same rate as street-facing elevations. Marine-grade stainless hardware is the standard line item here, not an upgrade. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will walk your openings with you and show you exactly what we mean.
If the bottom track is straight, the frame is sound, and the unit still carries a valid HVHZ product approval, we can replace the OEM nylon rollers and get the door gliding again without touching the frame. We stock marine-grade aftermarket rollers for ES Windows sliders that outperform the factory spec in salt-air conditions. If the track is bent or corrosion has penetrated beyond surface etching, a roller swap would be throwing money away. We will tell you which one you have and put the reason in writing.
No. Broward County enforces its own High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product-approval standard, and a Miami-Dade NOA alone does not satisfy a Lighthouse Point permit reviewer. The unit must be listed in Broward County’s HVHZ product approval database. We pull all permits and handle the paperwork on every replacement we install. That is part of the job, not an add-on.
That condensation is a failed seal. The insulated glass unit has lost its hermetic seal, and moisture is now trapped between the panes. On Lighthouse Point canal-front homes, the usual cause we find is salt crust building up in the original weep holes and preventing drainage, which lets moisture sit in the frame and attack the seal from the inside. We replace the glass and clear or reroute the weep system so it drains properly. Call (813) 320-9346 to have us inspect the unit and give you a written quote. Estimates are free.
In almost every case, a full-frame replacement is required. Jalousie openings from that era were never designed for a sealed impact-rated unit, and the rough opening is rarely square or standard. We remove the jalousie frame, correct the rough opening as needed, and set a custom-sized impact unit sized to the actual opening dimensions. An insert would leave the old jalousie frame in place, which means air leaks, water intrusion, and a unit that will not meet HVHZ code. We measure every opening twice before we quote.
